Commissioner Durket stated that he was in agreement with most of the applicants'
comments and was in favor of giving the proposed store a chance and that it would be
unfair to exclude a new liquor store. He stated he was in favor of the site being
occupied as opposed to vacant.
Commissioner Favero stated that he felt that the City had some responsibility to be
concerned with the economics of the existing businesses since the preservation of the
character of the Village depended on the economic viability of the existing businesses.
He also expressed concern that the added liquor store in that vicinity would not
perpetuate the desired image of Saratoga.
Commissioner Tucker stated that she did not feel the new store would be detrimental
to existing businesses and she could therefore not make the findings to deny the
application. She also stated that if the application were to be approved that she would
be in favor of adding some additional conditions.
Commissioner Favero again stated that he felt there was an obligation to the existing
businesses and residents since such a strong opposition had be expressed. He
stated he was opposed to the application.
Commissioner Forbes stated that he also was opposed to the application.
Commissioner Caldwell addressed the City Attorney asking about the amount of
information and type of documentation needed to build a foundation for decision
making on this application.
City Attorney explained that the decision would need to be based on findings and the
findings need to be based on fact. She also stated that competition is not something
that can legally be regulated and therefore the findings could not be made on issues
of competition.
Commissioner Caldwell expressed concerns that if a conditional approval was granted
that the same conditions that were designed to protect the residents could also be a
nuisance to the residents.
FAVERO/FORGES MOVED TO DENY UP-92-001 BASED ON THE FINDINGS:
1. THAT THE PROPOSED STORE IS NOT ECONOMICALLY
DESIRABLE,
2. IT IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE.

condition that after a certain time period the use permit be reviewed to determine
whether continuance of the granted use permit would be permitted.
Chairperson Moran expressed agreement with Commissioner Durket's suggestion.

City Attorney suggested that the motion be amended to have staff prepare a
resolution containing findings that an action be taken when the resolution is before the
Commission (interrupted at this point by Commissioner Favero).
Commissioner Favero objected to the City Attorney suggesting an amendment to his
motion and he requested that his motion be voted on.
City Attorney continued to explain that additional findings based on health and safety
and also on issue of compatibility or incompatibility of the store to the neighborhood.
She again suggested that a resolution be written by the staff to provide findings to
support denial of the application.
Commissioner Favero again stated his objection to the City Attorney's suggested
amendment and again asked that a vote be taken on his motion. He stated that there
was enough opposition expressed during the public hearing to support denial.
A discussion commenced regarding the motion, the legality of the motion, the findings
the motion was based on, proposed language for the findings and the options of
holding the item over to allow time for a staff draft of a resolution to deny the
application.
The City Attorney explained again that the finding must be based on fact and with an
allowance of time the Staff could draft a properly worded resolution for denial.
Commissioner Caldwell offered the following as findings to base a denial of the
application: That the proposed business would not promote a stable attractive
commercial development which would support a pleasant shopping environment and
compliment the essential residential character in that current residents experience
safety and litter difficulty with the existing liquor stores in the community; and the use
would not encourage a town center mix of specialty shops, restaurants and etcetera
including residences, since there are already two existing liquor stores in the very
close vicinity of the proposed liquor store and because of the small size of the village
an additional liquor store would not promote the desired mix of uses.
The City Attorney stated that Commissioner Caldwell's findings were the type of
findings that would need to be made, but advised that the findings should be based
upon facts and she again suggested that the Commission allow staff time to draft a
resolution for denial of the application.
Commissioner Favero stated he was not in favor of holding the item over to allow for a
new resolution because he felt staff may not present a totally unbias resolution. He
also suggested that if this were done, a new resolution written, that the City should
hire an paid, unbiased attorney to review the resolution.
